Mountain lions eat meat wherever and whenever they find it, but 75% of their diet consists of deer! As in our story, mountain lions pounce on their prey or try to knock them over. Then, mountain lions suffocate their prey or break their necks. It takes a lion 5 to 10 days to eat all the meat of a deer!

There is an Aesop's fable called The Stag and the Fawn. The stag scares the rest of the herd with his stamping and bellowing but is terrified by the hound. Aesop's story is about courage and cowardice and our story is about listening to each other, but both stories invite us to reflect on power relations in close groups.
